The steak was incredibly tender and enormous. The homemade biscuit was flaky and perfectly baked. The sausage gravy was meaty and flavorful. And the crispy hashbrowns seemed to cover half the plate. Then there are the house-made jellies. Who does that and how can I get more! The service was prompt and friendly with a great wait staff that made everything easy. The vibe of the restaurant is "friendly neighborhood spot" and feels like home. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough. These folks know how to do breakfast right and I cannot wait to go back.

And after finding out that Blue Bench Brunchette and Biscuits and Hogs were all affiliated, I made a point not to spend a dime at any of those businesses. I recently found out that Blue Bench is under new management. Knowing that this joint has new owners, I was totally down to give it a shot. New management means new expectations and service. I was done doing labs at the hospital. I told my husband let's go get breakfast and we made our way in. I love love love how darling this venue is. It's bright, fun and girly. I adore the decor. It's a smaller venue so the space is cute and dainty. Even though it's a smaller venue, tables and booths are nicely spaced out. You're not on top of each order. I can imagine this place being crazy on the weekends so I'm happy we decided to try this place out on a Monday. It was chill. Our server got some coffee and apple juice started for us while we looked over the menu. Everything looked so good! For brunch my husband got the Brunch trio. He picked cinnamon roll French toast, a cinnamon roll and some eggs. I got the sunrise sampler with cinnamon roll French toast. I had to try a little bit of everything. I also snagged a side of country gravy for my potatoes. Food came out really fast and it all looked fantastic! The cinnamon roll French toast was so fragrant. My husband's cinnamon roll looked divine. And the sunrise sampler was all about business! It was hearty! If you ever eat here, the cinnamon roll French toast is a must! It's crispy on the outside topped with butter and cinnamon sugar dust. The inside is soft and warm. Killer good! I did take a bite of my husband's cinnamon roll. It was mehhh. But I think if it was served warm, it would have been that much better. It was cold, dry and stiff. The bacon and sausage on my plate were cooked perfectly! My eggs were great and the potatoes were tasty! I do wish that the country gravy was not lumpy. I couldn't get over the lumps in the gravy from it sitting. I had about a couple spoons of it and couldn't eat it. It looked esthetically displeasing. Breakfast was good. Aspen did a decent job taking care of us. The venue is super charming. But the cinnamon roll was cold and honestly tasted like it wasn't freshly baked. The country gravy was lumpy and not very hot. It sucked to pay for a side of it and not enjoy it.

I came here for a late lunch around 2 pm after arriving in Boise. They weren't crowded at this point but business wasn't dead either. My waitress was very friendly. Inside has a lived-in, intimate feel, but it was pretty dark, so much that I wasn't sure they were actually open as I was opening the door. I had the French dip sandwich with a side of tomato basil soup. The sandwich was delicious and tasted homemade in the best way. The "meat" of the sandwich was seitan. I don't THINK it was a perfect meat replica (but I've never had a real French dip), but it was very flavourful. I loved the flavour and the thick cut of their bread, but it didn't have much structure and fell apart easily as I was eating which made the sandwich very messy. The tomato basil soup was a little different. It was slightly creamy but brothy and a little chunky - not a smooth puree. Again, it tasted great and was nice and light, which was a good contrast to the very rich sandwich. It was a little slow, especially considering they weren't that busy. I didn't really mind since I wasn't on a schedule, but this is something to be aware of - don't come here for a quick meal. Not cheap, but worth it for the quality.

Trillium, located in downtown Boise at the Grove, is a hidden gem among hotel lobby restaurants. My experiences dining here have been consistently positive, with both the food and service leaving a lasting impression. One of my all-time favorites was their delicious chicken sandwich with ghost pepper cheese. The perfect balance of flavors and the right amount of heat made it an unforgettable dish. I was genuinely disappointed when they took it off the menu, as it was something I looked forward to every visit. Despite this, Trillium still offers a fantastic dining experience. The menu, while ever-evolving, always features a variety of well-prepared dishes that cater to different tastes. The quality of the ingredients and the care put into each dish are evident in every bite. The service at Trillium is commendable. The staff is always attentive, friendly, and eager to ensure that every guest has a pleasant dining experience. Whether you're stopping in for a quick bite or enjoying a leisurely meal, you can expect to be well taken care of. The ambiance is another highlight, with the restaurant providing a comfortable and stylish setting that enhances the overall dining experience. It's a great spot for both casual meals and special occasions. While I still miss the ghost pepper cheese chicken sandwich, Trillium remains one of my go-to spots in Boise for its great food, excellent service, and inviting atmosphere. I highly recommend giving it a try! read more

We ordered two appetizers, two entrees and dessert.... Szechuan cauliflower, crab strata, Cajun shrimp mac and cheese, and the beef stroganoff. What can I say? Everything was delicious! The cauliflower was out of this world as was the beef stroganoff. Everything was homemade and very fresh. The Cajun mac and cheese had just the right amount of spice from a ghost pepper cheese, and the shrimp were cooked perfectly. The crab strata was layers of perfection with plenty of crab on top and homemade tortilla chips to bring it all to fruition! The dessert was a huckleberry s'more, again all homemade and delicious. I wish we could have tried the peach cheesecake, as that sounded delicious too, but there was just no more room to be had. Our server was an amazingly sweet lady, who was very knowledgeable and helpful in choosing our dishes. I would request her again. Her name is Li Shue. Oh, and prices were pretty reasonable too! We will return again and again!! read more

Ah, Trillium, now there's a place that truly understands the art of culinary excellence. The ambiance? Classy, sophisticated, yet inviting - a rare combination that sets the stage for an exceptional dining experience. But let's get to the heart of it: the food. It's not just good, it's outstanding. Locally sourced ingredients, which I always appreciate, are transformed into dishes that are both innovative and bursting with flavor. Each bite is a revelation, a perfect balance of textures and tastes. It's evident that there's a masterful hand in the kitchen. The attention to detail, the respect for the ingredients, it all comes together in a symphony of flavors that is, quite frankly, remarkable. This isn't just a meal; it's a culinary journey of the highest order. Trillium doesn't just serve food; they craft experiences. And let me tell you, it's bloody brilliant. Hats off to the chef! This place gets a resounding ten out of ten from me. read more
